“The Wings Alliance never recruits members from the outside, but whoever they choose, all of them are dragons among men.”
“Don’t just look at the current Wings Alliance which only has thirty-two people, but in the inner court, all of them are famous major figures.”
“Moreover, the members of the Wings Alliance are highly united and treat each other like siblings. Whoever dares to touch a member of the Wings Alliance, no matter who they are, they will definitely exact revenge.”
“Two years ago, a third-rate sect in the Azure Province was wiped out because they injured a member of the Wings Alliance, and the one who took action was none other than the Wings Alliance itself.”
“It’s actually that amazing?” Hearing this, Chu Feng also felt surprised. Even though a third-rate sect was far beneath the Azure Dragon Sect, it was still a fairly large power group. To be able to wipe it out, it could be imagined that the Wings Alliance was indeed extremely strong.
“Also, don’t just look at the founders of the Tianxia Alliance and the Sword Dao Alliance who seem very impressive; compared to the founder of the Wings Alliance, they are not comparable at all.”
“According to legend, the founder of the Wings Alliance entered the inner court at the age of eleven, became a core disciple at fourteen, and by sixteen was already the number one disciple in the Azure Dragon Sect.”
“Unfortunately, his ambitions did not lie within the Azure Dragon Sect. At the age of sixteen, he left this place, and no one knows where he went.” Speaking of this, the younger brother looked quite regretful.
“What is this person’s name?” Chu Feng felt extremely shocked. Core disciples were the Azure Dragon Sect’s primary cultivation targets; every single one of them could be called a martial cultivation genius.
And that founder of the Wings Alliance was invincible among the core disciples at the age of sixteen. Just how formidable was this person exactly?
“His name is Zhang Tianyi.” The younger brother said the name word by word.
“Zhang Tianyi.” Chu Feng memorized this name, because he had the qualifications to be remembered by Chu Feng.
“Oh right, rumor has it that our inner court’s beautiful elder, Su Rou, is one of the first generation members of the Wings Alliance, and she was also once one of the strongest among the core disciples.”
“Also, besides Elder Su Rou, currently among the core disciples there are many Wings Alliance members. The achievements of every single one of them are not inferior to the founders of the Tianxia Alliance and the Sword Dao Alliance. Do you think this Wings Alliance is amazing or not?” The younger brother continued his story.
“If that’s the case, this Wings Alliance is truly extraordinary. Then, is there a special mark for the members of the Wings Alliance?” Chu Feng became increasingly interested in the Wings Alliance.
“People from the Wings Alliance are rarely seen. However, on the chest of every one of them, there will always be a badge pinned, and on that badge is an image of a pair of wings.” The younger brother explained.
The three of them walked while chatting, and soon arrived at a plaza filled with a sea of people. This was the registration place for the Spiritual Medicine Hunt.
Actually, what was called registration was merely writing one’s own name on a large banner in the plaza, then taking a wooden token. There were absolutely no elders overseeing the process.
“This Junior Brother, tomorrow the Spiritual Medicine Hunt already begins. Surely you want to join an alliance to seek protection, right?”
“Therefore I advise you, alliances like the Wings Alliance, just forget about it, because we won’t be able to get in for our entire lives.”
“Let alone the Wings Alliance, even the Tianxia Alliance and the Sword Dao Alliance are not easy to enter.”
“Hence, if you want to join an alliance, you have to keep your eyes wide open.” After registering, the brothers approached Chu Feng again.
“Please advise, two Senior Brothers.” Seeing these brothers so enthusiastic, Chu Feng couldn’t bear to reject their good intentions.
“Although an alliance that is too strong cannot be entered, you also shouldn’t choose one that is too weak. Like those who explain one by one how good their alliance is, never join them. Alliances like that absolutely cannot protect you and will only get you bullied.”
“For example, that girl over there handing out bamboo slips everywhere, at first glance it’s obvious she’s a member of some weak alliance trying to trick new disciples again.” While speaking, the older brother pointed toward a girl dressed in purple not far away.
And when following the direction he pointed, Chu Feng was stunned. Because that purple-dressed girl turned out to be Chu Yue.
“Sister Chu Yue.” Seeing this, Chu Feng shouted excitedly.
Hearing Chu Feng’s call, Chu Yue turned her head, and upon seeing Chu Feng she was also overjoyed, waving her hand while shouting, “Junior Brother Chu Feng.”
Chu Feng happened to be looking for Chu Yue. Not expecting to meet her here, he immediately walked quickly towards her.
“Sigh, it’s over, another fool has been tricked. What we both just said to him was completely in vain.” Seeing this happen, the brothers looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Junior Brother Chu Feng, you finally entered the inner court! That’s great, the two of us can finally practice together.” Observing the purple robe Chu Feng wore, Chu Yue’s heart was filled with joy and she even hopped up and down in excitement. She was truly happy for Chu Feng from the bottom of her heart.
“Sister Chu Yue, what are you doing?” Seeing the bamboo slips in Chu Yue’s hand, Chu Feng felt curious.
“Oh, you must not know yet, Brother Chu Wei has established an alliance in the inner court called the Chu Alliance.”
“Right now, the peers of our Chu Family are all in the Chu Alliance. But even so, the members of the Chu Alliance are still too few.”
“That’s why, while there are many new disciples entering the inner court this year, I want to attract more people to join the Chu Alliance to strengthen its influence. After all, if the Chu Alliance develops well, it will be very helpful to our Chu Family in the future.” Chu Yue explained with a smile.
And the Chu Wei that Chu Yue spoke of was the boss for the younger generation in the Chu Family. This year he was twenty years old and had joined the Azure Dragon Sect ten years ago.
It was just that Chu Feng’s impression of Chu Wei was not good. When he was little, one of the people who most often bullied him was Chu Wei.
“Then I will help you.” Even though he was sick of Chu Wei, Chu Feng didn’t want to see Chu Yue get too exhausted.
“No need, really no need. You don’t understand the situation of the Chu Alliance, I can do it myself.” Chu Yue declined with a smile, then asked caringly, “Oh right, Junior Brother Chu Feng, have you registered for this time’s Spiritual Medicine Hunt?”
“Look at this.” Chu Feng smiled and took out the Spiritual Medicine Hunt token.
“Ah, great, this time we can go catch spiritual grass together. Let me tell you, catching spiritual grass is a job that tests wits and courage, it’s very fun, you know.” When discussing the Spiritual Medicine Hunt, Chu Yue seemed to be very much looking forward to it.
“Junior Brother Chu Feng, I have to get busy first. Come here to look for me tonight, I have something to tell you, make sure you come.”
Seeing a new disciple walk past, Chu Yue immediately slipped a bamboo slip into Chu Feng’s hand, then walked toward that new disciple to introduce the Chu Alliance.
Seeing Chu Yue so insistent, Chu Feng didn’t force her anymore. On top of the bamboo slip, the location of Chu Yue’s residence was written.
Walking through the middle of the plaza while scanning the crowd of people, he realized that there were many people promoting their alliances like Chu Yue did.
It was just that very few people paid attention to them. After all, everyone was not stupid. Unless they truly could not join a strong alliance, very few people would choose to join such small alliances.
Moreover, regarding the Chu Alliance, only Chu Yue alone was looking for members. Even Chu Wei, who established the alliance, didn’t show his face at all. It was clear to see that the only person who truly cared about the interests of the Chu Family was Chu Yue alone.
That night, Chu Feng came to Chu Yue’s residence as promised. Chu Yue was pacing back and forth outside, clearly waiting for someone.
Seeing Chu Feng, Chu Yue ran towards him with her hands behind her back while taking small hops.
Don’t just look at Chu Yue who was a year older than Chu Feng; she was still a blossoming teenage girl. Not only was her face sweet, but her personality was also very cheerful and lively.
In the Chu Family, Chu Yue could be considered a source of happiness. Both the old and the young very much liked this lively and clever girl.
Upon arriving in front of Chu Feng, Chu Yue spread her two hands and said with a happy laugh, “Here, keep this quickly.”
And between her two white palms, lay a stalk of Immortal Spirit Grass.
